It is the end of an era.
I may never have agreed with Ted Kennedy on any issues, policies or much of anything at all, but Ted Kennedy was the voice for Liberals in the Senate for many decades and will be missed by many. He did have his faults and foibles, but he was a man that stuck to his principles,and you have to admire that, even if they go against my own. There are not many left like the Liberal Lion.
Condolences to his family and friends. He is in a better place now.
Chip in for my golf addictionTed Kennedy, liberal lion of US politics
Senator Edward Kennedy, who died Tuesday, aged 77, was the liberal lion of US politics, a towering, controversial figure whose death ends an era when his family appeared born to rule.
Kennedy in many ways epitomized the wealthy, Ivy League-educated elite of the United States, a status detractors said enabled him to dodge fallout from scandals in his personal life.
Yet he also suffered extraordinary tragedy, with the assassinations of president John F. Kennedy in November 1963 and his other elder brother, the senator and former attorney general Robert Kennedy, in June 1968.—-BREITBART
